Chapter 103 - No! This Subordinate Minds!
“Lord Demon Sovereign, you specially bought so many clothes for this subordinate. Is that really okay?”
On the way back, izhi looked at the new clothes he had changed into, his heart filled with emotion and guilt.
As Lord Demon Sovereign's capable general, he should be the one sharing his Lord's burdens. But in the end, it was Lord Demon Sovereign who was taking care of him step-by-step, even going to the expense of buying new clothes for him.
How gentle Lord Demon Sovereign is!
“It's fine. They're just so ordinary clothes, they're not worth much.”
Lin Fan said dismissively.
Hearing this, izhi's reaction was exceptionally intense.
“Lord Demon Sovereign! This isn't just a matter of money, it's a matter of principle!”
“As your subordinate, how could I trouble you and make you spend money on !”
“A sin like this is not too great to be atoned for even with death! Please, Lord Demon Sovereign, punish this subordinate severely!”
Lin Fan: “…”
“Stop trying to atone with your life for every little thing!”
Lin Fan's brow twitched. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he turned and slamd a charged punch into his abdon.
“Urk!”
izhi clutched his stomach and fell face-first, not forgetting to say gratefully:
“Thank you, Lord Demon Sovereign, for the punishnt…”
After that punch, the guilt in his heart imdiately felt much better…
“Lord Demon Sovereign, these clothes that you bought for this subordinate, I will cherish them ten thousand tis over and hang them in my ho in the future to display your gentleness toward today!”
After getting back on his feet, izhi gently stroked the clothes on his body and said, full of emotion.
These were clothes that Lord Demon Sovereign had personally bought for him. Such an honor, how many in the world could claim it?
Isn't this a sign of Lord Demon Sovereign's trust and favor toward him!
“That's really not necessary…”
“These clothes are just for you to get by for now. You can change into whatever you like in the future.”
Hearing that izhi planned to save the clothes and hang them up, Lin Fan quickly tried to persuade him otherwise.
They're just ordinary clothes that cost around a hundred yuan, not so priceless formal wear. If his subordinate hangs them up for display, it would feel more like a public execution for him, the Demon Sovereign…
“How could that be okay!”
izhi retorted sternly, a hand on his chest, his face showing deep pride and gratitude.
“These are clothes that you, Lord Demon Sovereign, personally gave to this subordinate! Regardless of their value, in this subordinate's heart, no other clothing in the world can replace them!”
“…”
“Forget it, do as you please…”
Lin Fan really couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore, so he simply gave up and let him do as he pleased.
“Rember, this world has no immortals or demons, no yao, only mortals. To the mortals of this world, we are outsiders from another realm.”
“Here, we must hide our identities as much as possible. Do not casually bring up matters concerning the Immortal-Demon Continent, and more importantly, do not easily expose your identity. Understand?”
“Lord Demon Sovereign, this subordinate does not understand. Why can't we expose our identities?”
“If there were only re mortals, it wouldn't be worth worrying about.”
“Once our identities are exposed, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Perhaps... this world has more than just mortals...”
Lin Fan's gaze drifted toward the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly.
izhi seed to have guessed sothing, and his expression also suddenly grew serious.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, you an... the will of the Heavenly Dao?”
“This world has no spiritual energy. Does a will of the Heavenly Dao really exist here?”
“Who knows~ In any case, just do as This One says.”
The corners of Lin Fan's mouth lifted into a aningful smile. He didn't explain further, but simply emphasized it again.
“Yes, Lord Demon Sovereign!”
izhi bowed slightly and solemnly agreed.
Although he didn't know what Lord Demon Sovereign was worried about, he was sure his Lord must have his considerations or a plan.
After all, Lord Demon Sovereign's wisdom was beyond his ability to fathom!
“Lord Demon Sovereign…”
izhi had just begun to speak when Lin Fan suddenly stopped, turned around irritably, and held up a finger at him.
“First of all! You are not to address This One as 'Lord Demon Sovereign' here! At least, not in front of outsiders!”
Hearing the title 'Lord Demon Sovereign' in private was nothing, and he was long used to it. But to be called that in front of strangers or his friends... his heart filled with a sense of sha…
In the eyes of others, they would look like chūnibyō teenagers who were way too into their role-play.
Besides, the title 'Lord Demon Sovereign' is just too conspicuous.
“But Lord Demon Sovereign is Lord Demon Sovereign.”
“If this subordinate doesn't address you as Lord Demon Sovereign, then what else can I call you?”
Hearing this, izhi looked troubled.
In the Demon Realm, the term 'Demon Sovereign' represents the highest honor; it is the respectful title for the supre ruler of the Demon Realm.
Besides the term 'Lord Demon Sovereign,' he really couldn't think of any other na to call him.
“In this world, This One is called Lin Fan. You, like everyone else, can just call This One 'Lin Fan'.”
Lin Fan said casually.
“How could I do that!”
“How could this subordinate directly speak your true na, Lord Demon Sovereign!”
izhi cried out in opposition.
In his eyes, to directly speak the Lord Demon Sovereign's na was an act of great disrespect!
Whether it was him or anyone else in the Demon Realm, this was absolutely not allowed!
“These are special circumstances here. It's fine, This One doesn't mind…”
“No! This subordinate minds!”
“This subordinate cannot bring myself to directly speak your na, Lord Demon Sovereign!”
Lin Fan: “…”
It's over, this stubborn guy is at it again…
Looking at izhi's determined face, Lin Fan felt both angry and helpless.
Although it was a good thing that he was so steadfast in his support and followed the rules of the Demon Realm, he at least needed to know how to be a little flexible!
“Forget it. As long as you don't call Lord Demon Sovereign, you can call whatever you want.”
Lin Fan said helplessly, conceding a step.
izhi's brow furrowed, and he stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.
“Lord Demon King?”
“No!”
“Lord Demon God?”
“Rejected!”
“De— Thwack!”
“Demon my ass!”
This ti, before izhi could finish his word, Lin Fan once again couldn't stop himself and slamd a fist into his handso face.
izhi was sent flying backwards, spinning ten full rotations in mid-air before landing face-first.
Lin Fan irritably retracted his fist.
I already said not to call Demon Sovereign, but he just keeps going on with 'Demon, Demon, Demon'!
What's the difference between these titles and 'Demon Sovereign'?!
This is really pissing off!
izhi clutched his face, lying on the ground, a look of grievance on his face.
But... Lord Demon Sovereign, you were the one who said any other title besides 'Lord Demon Sovereign' was fine…
“Then… Young Master?”
izhi picked himself back up and, after a mont's thought, cautiously suggested.
“Hmm… that'll do!”
Lin Fan thought for a mont and nodded, sowhat satisfied.
Although the title 'Young Master' still sounded a bit anachronistic, it was much more pleasing to the ear than 'Demon Sovereign,' 'Demon King,' or 'Demon God.'
“By the way, you called for This One just now. Was there sothing you wanted to say?”
Entering the apartnt building, Lin Fan asked with confusion as he climbed the stairs.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, this subordinate wanted to ask, where are you going?”
izhi asked, looking around curiously at the narrow staircase, his face full of confusion.
“Taking you back to This One's ho,” Lin Fan said indifferently.
As they spoke, he had already reached his front door and was inserting the key into the lock.
Lord Demon Sovereign's ho?
izhi stood behind Lin Fan, curiously staring at the door that was about to open.
In other words, behind this door is the new royal palace that Lord Demon Sovereign has established in this world…?
